I haven't uploaded anything in a while and apparently erred when uploading a show yesterday. The files seemed to load okay but when I hit the "share files" button, a window pops up telling me to wait until the identifier assignment finishes. Can someone tell me what I've done or am doing wrong? Thanks.

Alejandro Escovedo 2011-03-29 Continental Club, Austin, TX (SBD). There is no band abbreviation for Alejandro. Is there a formula for creating the identifier that I don't remember? Thanks.

that's not an identifier, it's a title. the identifier is what ends up as the tail end of the url.

Hmmm...I entered Alejandro's name in the band abbreviation box (since he has no id), the show date in the second box, and then the name of the club in the "rest if identifier" box. It said that identifier ("AlejandroEscovedo2011-03-29ContinentalClub,Austin,TX(sbd)")was available so I clicked on the "share my files" button and got the "wait..." window. Did I miss a something?

yes, that looks like an identifier, but a bad one. you can't use commas or parenthesis. only letters, numbers, periods,dashes and underscores are permitted. we prefer just letter and numbers. you will need to start over and create a well formatted identifier.

Okay, would something like AlejandroEscovedo2011-03-29ContinentalClubAustinTX work?

You should use just ae. When in doubt, check other recent shows/uploads.
